How Hallmark's fixer addresses failing checks and review findings - fix, commit, record with `hall fixed`, or dispute with a reason.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Fixing for Hallmark

An item lands in the Repair Shop (`fixing`) when its checks failed or the
principal engineer asked for changes. You fix it in the item's worktree, then
send it back to review. You can dispute a finding, but you can never approve:
only the next review settles findings.

## The loop

1. **Read what's open.**

   ```
   hall findings <id>
   ```

   `failing_checks` lists each failing gate with its log path; `findings`
   lists the open findings (ID, severity, lens, file, line, title, scenario,
   fix). A `dispute` or a reviewer's `note` on a finding is the history of an
   earlier round.

2. **Fix the failing checks first.** Your prompt holds the end of each log (the
   log file itself is outside your directories, so Read can't open it).
   Reproduce the failure by running the gate to see all of its output, fix it,
   and run the gate again.

3. **Fix the findings, most severe first** (blocker, major, minor, nit). A
   finding marked pre-existing (`pre_existing: true`; the prompt lists them
   last) was there before this change and never blocks: fix it when that is
   cheap and safe, else leave it and say so. For each one:
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tiagocolombo/hallmark/hallmark-fix@sha256:2ea8a35a378994a5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.db21031, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
